I just finished this one. The main character is a 7-year-old genius, but I would say the book is aimed at an older audience, anywhere from 4th grade through high school. Cadel, the boy genius is sent to a college that appears from the outside to be a normal college but the classes he studies include such topics as embezzellment, computer hacking and infiltration, disguises, poisons, and more. Cadel is taught that evil is relative and the world needs people of his intelect to control it. Despite all he is taught, Cadel is basically a nice kid in a not very nice environment. All around him students are disappearing or getting wacked. There's plenty of action and intrique here, especially in the last part of the book. For me, I would give it 3 out of 5 stars, but I suspect a younger audience would really enjoy it. (submitted by J.S. - librarian)
